Goodnight.
Goodnight from Tony Wrox, realising that stealing an item labelled ‘The Ghost Child’s mirror’ from the Crowhythe Museum of Curiosities was always going to be a mistake. Goodnight from Bethany Butterfield, eager for morning and its possibility of frost lace divinations. Goodnight from Hookland.

I support this message.
Never been more important to buy from craftspeople, painters, potters, illustrators, makers, carpenters, bakers and the like. Seek them out, follow them, support them and buy their goods. Use them or lose them etc etc

Solidarity.
As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Got it!
More of the colour sense of decayed exotic grandeur and a bit sharper in the contrast.
November 13, 2025 at 3:17 PM
I like it here. Reminds me of art school. Drawing and having little conversations with a room full of people. Happy making. Thank you.

Worthy of your attention !

And here is a moss maiden, in case you needed one of those.

Feeling very nearly human!
In celebration, here is Mr Anderson being dignified.

I *think* I have coloured it in such a way that the sense of gloom is not diminished but there are hints of decayed finery in the landscape. I am, however, running a bit of a fever. Will look again tomorrow.

Good morning.

I may have to listen to Cannibal Corpse today for work related reasons.
November 12, 2025 at 10:18 AM
I expect you will love this.

Goodnight to us all.
Goodnight from Danny Trower, already feeling it was a mistake to meet at the Hawgate Trading Estate to discuss the selling of Faery bones. Goodnight from Joan Letts, afraid to lift the curtains and look out in case its the Wicker King knocking on her caravan door. Goodnight from Hookland.

This
there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

I really , really hope there a lot of police people in the US who do not want a police state.
I feel like that is important.

We remember, but we don't talk.
Best that way.
People don't like to talk about the time when the trees of Whirlow Wood grew wooden people to send as emissaries to Barwell village. People don't talk about the Treaty of the Axe. The ongoing offerings. – Ruth Hyde #VOH

Best kind!!
Yes, we are up to bog witch mischief.
@tomsbrown.bsky.social She falls into her bog bed. Peat-pillowed. Moss-blanketed. Cradled by its brown waters. A protection of humic acids, tannins. Heather honey on the tongue of her bitter dreams.

Just slept for 16 hours
May be fairly ill

Goodnight to us all
Goodnight from The Ghost Bear’s Bowl pub, where there’s much talk about what the oil extraction company up at Trotton Grove might disturb. Goodnight from Ali Weaver, wishing her mother wouldn’t tell the children stories about the Hairy Pike at bedtime. Goodnight from Hookland.

Again, so strangely comforting.
Cheers me in an odd old way.
November’s early darkness enfolds us. The smell of applewood fires and rot is a constant companion at twilight. We hurry between home and evensong, home and pub. Ghosts crowd the lanes, our folklore becomes filled with tales of cold teeth. Winter begins to growl. - #CLNolan

Playing with tones on this one as I draw the next.
Next one, is one that Sime also illustrated so trying to go very much in my own direction. Going head to head with Sime is..unthinkable.

Gods, this is beautiful.
Clear, unshaken, inspiring.
November 9, 2025 at 3:34 PM
Have decided that I am going to include the Current Lord Dunsany in one of the illustrations. Sword of Welleran? He would make a fine young Iraine .
Metal eco bard, working to rewild Ireland. Hell yes.
